hey handle 120 watts each so I'd have a pretty awesome surround sound system to drive into them. I bought a yoga mat and cut a bucket shape around the back of them to baffle the sound in my ceiling they sound awesome

no, you will need a sound card regardless to play sound on your computer ..... speakers of any kind only work with a soundcard installed.

About this comment; "CD's sound decent but near as good as a system meant to play them"...is there a device I might purchase to play CDs on this system so that they sound great...not just decent?

How do I hook these speakers in to my Mac G4? Is there a USB connection or only RCA type jacks requiring a sound card to be put into my computer? Or can they be attached some other way? Any advice would be appreciated.

Just researching systems myself. But at the most all you should need to hook this up is a audio RCA cable. It should come with a RCA cable though. It also should come with speaker wires. And that's really it should take to hook it up.

If you have Bluetooth coming from your p.c. then your headphones should reconize. No software to install. Worked for me. Also, make sure it is A2DP compliant or this will not pair!

I'm not a computer tech but my experience is that I purchased this Syba USB Sound Card because my internal sound card stopped working. I'm remembering, I think, that I still had to have speakers. So you can plug anywhere and use existing speakers... but I'm not sure. You should email the Syba mfg.

Sorry. Shouldn't need a sound card. Depending on your system config. What OS are you running?

Compatibility is not the issue with this device.... the problem is.... once you do pair it via Bluetooth... your music experience will never be the same.... YOU WILL EXPERIENCE A LOUD AND ANNOYING BUZZING SOUND THAT WILL NOT GO AWAY...... IM TELLING YOU BUY AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!!

Unfortunately I don't have much information to help because I'm considering the purchase of the same system. Has your impression changed much from the original post? I enjoy classical music but don't know much about different audio outputs and quality differentiators. Is there a better system at a similar price that you know of? Thanks for any additional thoughts.

It's not very practical to buy speakers, test them and then return them and repeat until finding the best solution. I'm sure going to stores and listening is good but it might sound different when you get it into your home setup.Do you have any suggestions on a good 5.1 setup for the onkyo 606 that doesn't break the bank?

Make sure your source is stereo/supports stereo. Otherwise could be a short in which case you need to return/exchange.

You'll be fine with the cables that come with the speakers. Assuming you have a jack for a sound card, all should be fine with your hook up.

Honestly, buy a new receiver. You need this, and then you can continue using the speakers you have. Trying to do this any other way is not a good idea, and will end up costing you the same amount of money and continued frustrations on lack of HDMI inputs and outputs.

I tried them with my PC and I got them to work, but only in mono mode, not stereo. I dont know why. I only tried briefly because I wasnt planning on using them with my PC anyway...and I tried right after I got them and wasnt familiar with what I was doing. I havent had time to try them again.

I would buy longer higher quality cable and check with Best Buy or Fry's about what speakers might be compatible. You also may need a more expensive system.
